Pretty pretty cupcakes!

Last week Lindsay Marie delivered cupcakes to our wonderful photographer Kristal. Her instructions were the same as my cookies - just something girly and pretty :) I love these cupcakes that Lindsay Marie created - what little girl wouldn't love these?? I love the sparkles on the blue and purple cupcakes!

Early Christmas Cookies for the Jingle Mart

Last week I was asked if I would be interested in making some cookies for the Christ the King school's annual Jingle Mart. I was thrilled to be asked! I had less than 48 hours to do it though once I was asked...I like a challenge! Really I just wanted to use my new snowflake cookie cutters I think. :) Below are some of the cookies that I created for the event - hope all went well with it!! Thanks again for asking me to do this!

Girly cookies!

Girly cookies = pink and purple and sparkles and sprinkles! I had a fun time making these cookies. Kristal was nice enough to do the photo shoot for Lindsay Marie and I in exchange for a batch of cookies and a batch of cupcakes. I think we got the good end of the deal there! Her pictures are phenomental! This week I finally had time to bake the cookies for her. She requested something for her daughters and the only request was something "girly" and pink. Done and done! I delivered them today and when I asked her daughter if she liked cookies she said, "I like pink cookies!" I am told that the cookies were enjoyed and that makes me very happy! Thanks again Kristal!

La Marie's Confections Launch Party!

First of all, I want to shout out a big THANK YOU to all of those who helped us get ready for the launch party and for those who attended. We had a great time getting ready for the party as well as actually having the party last Sunday. I don't think either of us have ever made that many cupcakes and cookies at one time but we had fun with it :)

We held the launch party in one of the great event rooms at the Newburgh library. We baked ~100 each of our different flavors of cupcakes and cookies that we will be offering as well as ~100 cupcakes and cookies for the centerpieces which were decorated and for looks only. Below are some pictures from the party. Again, thanks to all who came and who helped us out!

Another Halloween party order!

We ended up getting two orders on the same day for two different Halloween parties. We had a lot going on with baking for our launch party that weekend but we decided what the heck? We'll do them! In addition to the party for Mark's little boy, we did an order of two dozen cupcakes and two dozen cookies for Lindsay Marie's friend Brian. He was having a Halloween party and wanted some La Marie's goodies to be on display. I am told that everyone absolutely adored them! YAY!

Thanks Brian for your order and your support of La Marie's!!!

Our First Order!

We were beyond excited last week to receive our first paid order! It was from someone that we know through work who wanted a dozen cupcakes and a dozen sugar cookies for his 8 year old son's Halloween party. His only request? He wanted something spooky. Spooky and decorating cupcakes and cookies for kids...hm. We gave it our best effort and we are told that the kids and the adults both loved the goodies! I don't have a picture of the cupcakes but they were awesome! Mummies, scary green monsters, and ones with bloody fingers coming out of them - ew! :) Thank you to Mark for our first paid order! Shall we frame the money??

Here are the cookies that I made - tied up with "bloody" guaze with spiders - spooky enough??
